Predascent Offers Easy, Clean, Long-Lasting Protection Against Deer

20 capsules per box make an 80-foot perimeter, or cover 750 square feet

Protection lasts 4 to 5 weeks

Rain or watering actually increases effectiveness

Predascent banishes one of your most frustrating garden pests: deer. Just moisten these gel capsules, and spread them 3-1/2 feet apart to create a
perimeter around your garden. Odorless to humans, deer will smell predator urine and run for their lives.

With large numbers of free roaming deer, my flowering trees initially suffered in early spring. As soon as I put this product out, the repeated de-nuding stopped. The capsules respond to rain by creating four-inch gel blobs on the mulch surrounding the tree trunks, lumps that I felt I needed to rake in. The process was easy and quick, however, and the results justify the product use.

Living in the woods, the deer would destroy all of my vegetation (flowers, veggies, etc). This product really works and now I can keep my gardens looking wonderful instead of creating them for deer food.

There are almost no instructions on the package about how to use this product -- it just states that the more water the capsules receive, the more effective they are. So, I soaked one capsule in water for 15 - 20 minutes, then put it in a six inch pot that had a single impatiens, (which had been covered with netting), and set the uncovered pot in the yard. The next morning, the impatiens plant had been devoured by the deer.

The website of the manufacturer shows the product as a mass of gel, but mine was still in capsule form when I put it in the sacrificial impatiens pot. Is that the trick? Do the capsules have to turn to gel before being effective? If so, it would be good to know that. If not, these simply aren't the least bit effective.

P.S. This little experiment took place on the North Fork of Long Island, NY, in an area very densly populated with deer.
